"Today, we celebrate the rebirth of this important community anchor," Landrieu said. "The redevelopment of this important facility is one of my administration's 100 committed capital projects and has been a top priority."

The former Stallings St. Claude Center was destroyed in Hurricane Katrina. The new facility is the second of three recreation centers to open in the city in 2015.

In June, officials opened the Sanchez Center, in the Lower Ninth Ward; and the Resenwald Center is set to open in the fall on South Broad Street.

"The Stallings St. Claude Center and Pool is once again open to the public and will serve as a place where our city's youth can seek enrichment and where parents can watch them play and grow," Landrieu said.
